A previous post covered the ex-Cubs, but here is how the full slate of candidates shapes up for this year's voting:
• Harold Baines
• Jay Bell
• Bert Blyleven
• David Cone
• Andre Dawson
• Ron Gant
• Mark Grace
• Rickey Henderson
• Tommy John
• Don Mattingly
• Mark McGwire
• Jack Morris
• Dale Murphy
• Jesse Orosco
• Dave Parker
• Dan Plesac
• Tim Raines
• Jim Rice
• Lee Smith
• Alan Trammell
• Greg Vaughn
• Mo Vaughn
• Matt Williams
Henderson is a lock, and because there are few other notables on the list, this might be the perfect situation for Andre Dawson and Jim Rice. That said, the writers could make this a lean year and only elect one player.
